I BELIEVE - IN CHRIST'S RESURRECTION AS FACT.

WE WISH YOU ALL

A VERY HAPPY AND BLESSED

EASTER 2018

We have not sent a Blog for the last two Saturdays, mainly because of more activity than usual that kept me away from my computer, and ALSO this week in particular because our Internet Server had his communication net work interrupted.    The County Council cut down the POLES which carried the wiring.       We were cut off most of the week, until today Daryl hooked me up to another Server until we see where things are going.     So do not be anxious at all, we are ALL well and enjoying OUR Easter here within Testimony Faith Homes.

ON THURSDAY evening Esther and I laid on what has become a yearly event at Easter, the Remembrance of the Passover and Last Supper.     We had Daryl, Carol, and the family joining in with us this year, and had a very blessed time together.       After the Meal we spent time in prayer and singing hymns until quite late into the evening.

FRIDAY MORNING saw all in the School Hall for our Good Friday Service of Bible Readings, following the events from Gethsemane to the Crucifixion and Death of our Lord Jesus.   Many of our staff took part in sharing as we went event by event following Matthew 27.  Then Wycliffe Ondanga gave a Message.  The sun shone warmly throughout, and we enjoyed great peace in the midst of our remembrances.         Later, in the evening our son, Steven, who had been on business in Zambia, arrived to spend the night and Saturday with us before returning to the UK.    It was a very special joy to see him with us, and at such a time.    Regretfully he has to fly out of Eldoret quite early in the morning in order to connect with his International Flight from Nairobi, and so will not be with us for the Sunday Service.

AND SO TO SUNDAY, and the JOY of KNOWING Jesus is ALIVE, and RISEN from the tomb.  Again we shall be together, and this time tears giving way to Happiness and Joy as we once more Break Bread, and share together, our Love for Him with each other.     This year I shall be speaking, and have felt led to begin with the story of the Widow of Nain's son whom Jesus raised from the dead, and concluding with the death and resurrection of Jesus Himself, and the present Assurance we have of Him, ALIVE in our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit to work with us and walk with us for ever.

TRULY we know that DEATH has lost it's sting, it's dread and fear, for we are held by the hand of He who ROSE from DEATH, and who knows the way, having overcome all, and will take us through into EVERLASTING LIFE secure and safe, and unscathed.    We are SAFE.

WE WILL NEVER BE ALONE, SINCE HE IS WITH US - ALIVE!

The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

HE makes me to lie down in green pastures;

he leadeth me by still waters!

He restores my soul;  he leadeth me 

in the paths of righteousness, for His Name's sake.

YES!  though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I shall fear no evil;

for YOU are WITH ME

Your rod and staff shall comfort me.

Psalm 23v1-4

Our Father in Heaven, comfort you and make you to REJOICE in the Fellowship of His Son, giv ing you Peace, Health, and your daily need, till He comes again.

Lovingly from us all 

John, Esther, and EVERYONE in TFH
